Hey coach, your the highest paid, you went for the money instead of talent. You had Nash, could have had Rose, but you came here as Barkley said, where ever the money is, that is where he is going.

Stick with Duhon and your records show that you're releasing and prolonged benching of multiple players is not working out.

Suck it up, Hughes makes more in one game then you do in a week.
Robinson has a great outlook, but you have given up at least four or six wins being hard guy with players that are gone, or you should at least get something for by the trade deadline. Guess we will get Rose for Duhon straight up? You believe Duhon is Steve Nash. Won't happen, hasn't happened. Marbury, Curry (damn, loss 40 pounds for what, you sit him), sometimes you got to suck up your pride and learn to get along Mike. The player?s love you theme isn't flying here.

Duhon, Gallo aren't going to get you anywhere. Lee is out of here unless you buck up much bigger than you did. Take a note from Phil Jackson page on coaching, "I will take Dennis Rodman and his antics for a few championships". Forget the Mickey Mouse Bullshit and win. You could never do it. Check the EGO in the locker room, kiss and make up and start getting some wins. You got enough talent to get the 7th or 8th seed, but you screwed this teams chemistry up so bad and you don't have much talent, so you?re screwed now. Worse yet, your tactics are going to send many players somewhere else for 2010. Too many teams in the East have increased the spread from the Kicks. Hill is a bust for a first round top 10 draft. Could not play High School ball due to grades (that is one low GPA), Listen to Walt announce a game, he is ripping on you Mike. Very smooth, but ripping.

You went for the cash, not the young talent in Chicago and a guy that has never coached in his life is kicking your ass. You better start playing Robinson, Hughes and Douglas, or your screwed for more than one year and playing with your own career now. Play Robinson, Hughes, Douglas, play them hard, if you can't get along, someone will give you someone for them for the stretch, guards are going down big time now, otherwise your not going to get anything for them, or they are going to bag out on you with injuries to screw you over. Yes, you know it can happen. You would not talk to Hughes, so he asks to speak to Walsh. Can't you review your own tapes; he got you out of the worst starts in Knicks history a few months ago. Remember the paper headline, "Hughes is Huge"?

Took Cleveland to the finals playing point (out of position). When you played him, he was in the top five in steals in the league (still has speed at 30 years and 12 years on the odometer to cover the passing lanes, Duhon can't, never could, never reached double digit ppg in his life). Never had any D in Phoenix and you go with Duhon for every start for 42 plus games? Where is our $6 mil a year going, to your high school coach brother? Seems like an expensive family feud reality basketball show. Let's shake the drama and WIN.....

No more of my cable package money and MSG admissions for you! You?re benched in my book.

Stating to the N.Y. Post your favorite player is Duhon and Lee is a close second is as bad as any player did this year on your team.

agree and spin that down from 2:22 for 15sec for true enjoyment

I admire your passion and your intolerant attitude for losing.But instead of posting the stats to the Knicks regular season records of the past few years you could of saved more time by posting the link to this video.

The thing is that we need a great POINT GUARD and a GOOD Power Forward or CENTER. You can bring here any coach u want if u dont have a PG u will not win. Simple as that.

Remember one thing people Donnie Walsh and DAntoni are not taking those shots on the court.

I give credit especially to Walsh for trying to make room for cap space. In that way, we can sign someone who can actually win more games for us.

Have u been watching the past decade Knicks?

Lets put facts in a better perspective....

The Knicks already had a playoff team the month that Isiah Thomas was hired PG-Ward & F.Will, SG-Houston & Anderson, SF-Van Horn, PF-Kurt & Mcdyess, C-Mutombo & Doleac.

Isiah took our defensive-playoff team and changed it into an all offensive-team that was suppose to make the playoffs each season, but Isiah dictatorship and favoritism to Marbury, made players and coaching-staff want him Fired ASAP.

We all was angry at Knick Players for playing with no-effort at the start of every game, plus having a fueding divided lockerroom of players caused by president/coach Isiah Thomas favoritism to certain players.

Dantoni inherited a .500 Knick unit of just a roster of Isiah Thomas young draft picks, and a .500 unit of Isiah's offensive veterans.
Walsh has always been known for letting his headcoach call major shots in his organization.

When u have a team owner willing to spend a $100M per on the players on his team.....u must have a manager and headcoach that has several strategy plans for a 9-man and 10-man rotation within a 82 game season.
Within the last decade the Knicks had neither, after the departure of G.M. Ernie Grunfield and coach JVG.
u do not want expensive-players sitting on the bench receiving DNP for 2 to 3 straight games when they are not injured. That is asking for lockerroom problems.

Lowering the team salary-cap under $60M per is what Walsh & Dantoni is used to so they can only concentrate on a few players on the roster for a 7- man rotation (that leads into injuries).
But we must not forget what happen to the Indiana Pacers once Ron Artest was traded....Walsh did'nt know a great thing untill he was gone. LOL

What headcoach Dantoni dont know:

1) Duhon is a starter but not a finisher....
2) Gallo is supposed to be develope as a Finisher not a starter.
3) Hughes 12 years experience along with Jefferie suposed to be calling all the shots on the defensive end of the court in the 2nd half of each game, even if we have a 20 point lead.
4) Bigmen Curry, Darko, and Hill, are supose to be receiving a few minutes of playingtime within the first 3 quarters of alot of games.
5) Curry should start some games, and Darko should start some games,
they are starters not finishers.
6) The only players that should've average 30 minutes of playintime this season are Lee, Chandler, Nate, and maybe Harrington.
7) From the start of the season the Knicks was suppose to have 9 players with double-diget playingtime by midseason (46 games). Or at least 8, but they only have 6, which explains the 18-28 record...

Good decision, when the team that you root for is more useless than a bag of rocks painted in orange and blue the best thing to do is not watch them.

Anyone who is arguing that Dantoni chose NY over having Rose in Chicago is an idiot. Dantoni signed with NY before Chicago won the draft lottery. Knicks had a better chance at the #1 pick that year when he signed.

Walsh signed Dantoni after, not before the lottery selection.
Paxon would not have given Dantoni 25% of the priviledges he received in New York.

Whats the difference between the Knick and the Houston Rockets? beside the Rockets record (25-22), really none. Both has a "2010-Plan" in action, both are without a center, both use an extreem amount of fowards (5) in their rotation, both have a PG that gives 20 pts, 5 ast, when receiving 30 mpg (Brook & Nate).........

what is different is how Rockets head coach Adelman's steady 9-man rotation with 4-guards (2-PG & 2-SG) running the show since the start of the season has been showing improvement and confidence as a team this season. Where the Knicks head coach Dantoni only have confidence in giving playingtime steady to one guard (Duhon) on the roster in his 7-man rotation which has 5 to 6-fowards in it.

No, once again you're wrong Kiya. D'Antoni was hired before the draft lottery. Remember, he was there representing the Knicks. His facial expression when we received the 6th pick was priceless.

Have you ever been right about anything?

Kiya, i'll give you the point that the rockets and the knicks have similar situations but the talent that the rockets have at the guard positions far exceeds the knicks.

Kiya i can agree if you say they are a team of undersized role players...but there are some major differences I can think of.

1. They are defense first unlike us....
2. Trevor Ariza and Shane Battier, Chuch Hayes are elite defenders.

What are u talking about ?
sIf you think Charlie Ward/ Frank Williams were great PG-s and if u think Kurt Thomas was a great PF/C u must be out of ur mind.

Listen, ever since Starks and Pat Ewing the Knicks never had a GOOD PG and a great Center. Plus then they had other guys like Larry Johnson, Jackson, Oakley, Houston, Sprewell etc. Even then, they didnt win a championship.

My point is that it is not any coaches fault if our players suck besides 2-3. and u cant win with 2 players ( who are not even GREAT).

Yes, Isiah ****ed the team up, but u cant say it is D`Antonis fault if this guys best player is David Lee, which always plays out of position.

ANd u cant say it is his fault if he has no other point guard besides Duhon.

And somewhere u have compared NATE to BROOKS. The thing is that NATE is not a Point Guard.

Im not sure now if u really know what a PG is and what his role should be, but NATE is not.

Also, you should be happy the way the Knicks are playing right now considering the roster they have. At least, D`Antoni applies a more exciting basketball. Imagine if Isiah had those current players, u would have a worse record than NETS. ;)

LOL....ouchhhhhh


If u say its true then maybe u r right

So we hired Dantoni the same week Boston won the Championship....
the lottery balls was drawn a week after the Finals.
I know the city of Phoenix was upset for getting swept in the first round with Shaq, Amare, and Nash. But to kick Dantoni out of Phoenix a day or two after the Finals is harsh. LOL ouchhhhhhhhh

I know u lost it......Nate was a scoring PG in Washington....Brooks & Ariza are doing the samething that Nate & Ariza did on the Knicks in the Knicks 6 game win streak when Nate started as the Knicks PG, before Larry Brown called Ariza delusional.....which made the Knick roster turn their back on winning for Larry Brown.
And all the bull Isiah Thomas pulled on this Knick Team with his power and favoritism to Marbury causing the coaching-staff and the roster to want Isiah FIRED ASAP.

But to say Larry Brown or Isiah are not good headcoaches b/c of their tour with the Knicks....both would have took Phoenix roster to the Finals twice within Dantoni's time in Phoenix.
u r clueless of Dantoni one season with Denver and then return back to Italy for a year, and then came back to signed on as an assistant coach to an already Phoenix playoff team with Chambers, Amare, Marion, Penny, Joe Johnson, and Marbury. Even Barbosa was on the team before Dantoni.

To not understand the impact of Mutombo & Doleac at center, Kurt Thomas & Mcdyess at PF, Van Horn & Anderson at SF, Houston & Anderson at SG, and Ward's tutledge to Frank Williams at PG....make my conversation to u for now on one word.........DEFENSE!!!
